I don’t win awards because I reject sexual advances, says Yemi Alade
The ‘Johnny’ crooner disclosed that a lot of entertainment executives have requested sex from her in the past with the promise of better opportunities
Popular singer Yemi Alade has said that despite her obvious success and fame, she rarely wins awards in Nigeria because of her refusal to grant organisers’ requests for sex.
The ‘Johnny’ crooner disclosed that a lot of entertainment executives have requested sex from her in the past with the promise of better opportunities.
She said she has no regrets about turning down their offers because she at least has her dignity and fans who adore her.
“There was a time in the industry when everyone wanted to sleep with me and it was like, ‘Yemi, if you don’t do this, you won’t have that. Today, men are the reason I don’t win awards in Nigeria,” WithInNigeria quoted.
“Going down with men was like a bridge I had to cross to get on some platforms, get some deals and even get awards. When I made my decision never to engage in sexual activities for gain, lots of opportunities were automatically blocked for me.”
